    I suspect posting a disclaimer at all is a total waste of time and will offer no protection at all. Maybe someone else with a little more knowledge as far as copyright law can confirm or deny it. Like I said however, quoting acts that don't exist certainly doesn't help.

    Providing links is contributory infringement in the US, and your site is hosted in the US. A disclaimer is not going to help you, especially since you are the one posting the links.

    you are not hosting warez on your hosting server but giving out the links to warez is no less than an offence. Regarding covering yourself you can't. There is no way you can cover yourself by just writing in terms that you comply with DMCA nd on other hand giving out the links to pirated stuff. The only thing you can do to save yourself a bit more is moving to an offshore server where dmca complaints can be ignored.

    Yeah I think they are changing things a bit in NL. Though I have a download site hosted in germany with no problems at all. Also ukraine is another good place to host such sites, or russia.
